Bill Gauch I second MHS. It's great thanks to ample parking and a low slope for the little kids and a steep one for the older kids. The golf course is a great spot because you can get an especially long sled run. Lastly, sledding in the Valley on High St. is great, although there isn't really anywhere to park unless you want to walk.

Jill Gower Viveiros I usually do the golf course and never thought about the high school, thanks Bill and Becky!

Portsmouth

Jason Hollis Lawton Valley across from Raytheon

Kendra Ringuette Jenkins We live across from the middle school. The hill in the back is perfect for us and our 4 year old 

Betsy McCabe Kings Grant is fun and convenient to me! Maybe not as fun for older kids, but up through 7 or so its perfect.
